How to:  Open a project that was archived on a DVD....It just won't work!

I've only tried to archive 2 projects and both seemed to save properly and I thought I'd be able to simply insert the DVDs at a later time, click and there would be my full project. Unfortuntately, both times that I've tried this I've gotten the same pop up that says:
This project could not be opened because the disk is full, the folder is locked or the folder persmission are incorrect.
If the project is on CD- ROM, network server or locked disk, then copy it to your hard drive before opening it.
If the project is already on your hard disk, then the disk may be completely full, or you may not have permission to modify the folder. Correct the problem and try again.
I guess my problem is that I don't understand what I'm being told to do or just aren't doing it right.
thanks in advance

you're right: dragging the whole icon in Finder into some folder just generates a socalled "alias" (=the icon has an arrow...).. this is just a "link" to the disk.. .when ejected, the link runs into empty...
you should, in Finder:
* open your "Movies" Folder
* insert data-dvd
* click on DVD's icon AND...
* hold the alt-key on your keyboard => mouse cursor changes into a little, green +symbol
* drag dvd into Movies Folder...
that needs some time => NOW the dvd's content gets copied to your harddrive..
sorry, my bad, I forgot that "alias"-behavior with disks Finder ...

    Well sort of,
    Make an xml export and import that into CC7.
    You will keep all the editing in the timeline but effects, most transitions and titles are gone or empty.

    Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
    Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

    Travel and detours have kept me from following up sooner. If the problem that you wrote about still persists.....
    Let us go back over that Adobe document regarding troubleshooting damaged projects.
    3. Delete the Application Preferences
    Where you able to follow that path and delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file at the end of the path? And, after you did, did the saved/closed programs still refuse to open? If you could not carry out this procedure, what were the limiting factors that kept you from do
    7. Test to see if individual media files are causing the problem.
    That is an important one. How far did you get into following the instructions given in the document? If you could not complete the test, what was the major block that prevented you from doing so?
    I want to make sure that we have gone through everything in that document and ruled all factors there in or out. If it was a matter of you not understanding the instructions, I am hoping that the above will channel you questions to me so that I can clarify anything that you did not understand in the Adobe document instructions.
    I do not recall if I asked previously. Even if you cannot open all your saved/closed projects, can you still open a new project and save/close it? Maybe even reopen it?
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • Can't figure out how to open multiple projects in imovie

    I want to copy clips from one project into another. I've read you simply open the two projects and drag clips from one to the other. I may be missing something quite basic, but I cannot figure out how to get two projects open at once. If I open from the project list, I can only choose one. What am I missing????

    Open the project that you want to take video from, select the frames that you want to include in your other project, and Edit > Copy (or Command-C). Return to your Projects list, select the project you want to add the frames to, move the playhead to the point where you want the frames to be inserted, and Edit > Paste (Command-V).

  • I have lost nearly all my photos and events.  I received a message effectively saying that I need to upgrade from an old base.  I think I may have tried to open an event that was stored in iPhoto Buddy a few days ago.

    I have lost nearly all my photos and events.  I received a message effectively saying that I need to upgrade from an old base.  I think I may have tried to open an event that was stored in iPhoto Buddy a few days ago.  iPhoto Buddy is not supported in Lion.  How can I retrieve my phjotos?

    What version of iPhoto?
    Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty.  And it seems there is much accidental damage.  Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
    Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
    There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

  • When I did the latest IOS i.0.3 update I lost all of my calendar entrees.  How can I recover everything that was on my calendar?

    When I updated my iPhone 4Sto IOS 7.0.3 I lost all of the events and appointments that were on my calendar.  HOw can I retrieve everything that was on my calendar?

    Same here. Besides the phone randomly crashing all the time I now also lost my calendar.
    I did a backup to iCloud and then updated the phone and I assumed it would get the data back from iCloud...
    Anybody hae a fix for this? Do I need to trigger a restore in iTunes? It seems that the calendar is still on iCloud but I fear that the empty calendar on the phone will wipe that.
    Really makes this device slowly unusable and not good advertising to upgrade the hardware....

  • Does anyone know how to "undelete" a Note that was mistakenly deleted?  Is there a trash bin for "notes"?

    Does anyone know how to "undelete" a Note that was mistakenly deleted?  Is there a trash bin for "notes"?

    If you backup your iPad, the notes are contained in the backup. But the notes will only be as current as your last backup. If you really want to retrieve that note and you know that you backed up after you created the note, try restoring from the backup.
    Bear in mind that everything that was in that backup will be restored to the iPad as well as that one note that you want to retrieve.
